SECTION I

Compensation policy adopted by the Issuer and procedures applied.

DiaSorin’s compensation policy illustrated in this Report is implemented with the support

of the Compensation Committee and is based on the principles of meritocracy and fairness.

Accordingly, the policy, methods and compensation tools adopted are clear, fair, easy to

communicate and consistent with DiaSorin’s organizational culture. Periodically, or in

response to Company dynamics, the Group’s compensation policy is benchmarked against

the outside market, using comparative analysis.

DiaSorin’s current compensation policy is structured differently by category. Specifically, a

different compensation policy is used for members of the Board of Directors and Strategic

Executives.

DiaSorin adopted a compensation policy for governance bodies to whom powers have been

delegated and senior executives that calls for incentives tied to the Company’s profitability,

together with management retention, and may include corporate incentive plans that entail

stock option grants.

As provided by Related Parties Regulations and ratified in the DiaSorin Related Parties

Transactions Procedure – available on the Company’s website at www.diasorin.com, in the

section “Investors/Governance/ Governance System” – the approval of the Compensation

Policy by the Shareholders’ Meeting exonerates the Company from applying such procedure

in resolutions of the Board of Directors regarding the remuneration of Directors and Strategic

Executives whenever these resolutions are consistent with the Compensation Policy.

Corporate bodies or individuals involved in the drafting and approval of the compensation

policy, specifying the respective roles, corporate bodies and individuals responsible for the

correct application of the policy

Main individuals and corporate bodies involved in the drafting and approval of the

Compensation Policy are the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors and the

Compensation Committee.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors:

- appoints among its members a Compensation Committee ;

- defines the Remuneration Policy upon proposal of the Compensation Committee and

approves the Report on Remuneration, pursuant to article 123-ter, TUF, and article 84-

quater of the Issuers’ Regulation;

- consistent with the Compensation Policy, it determines the remuneration of Directors

holding particular proxies, after receiving the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors

and upon proposal of the Remuneration Committee, within the total amount resolved by

the Meeting pursuant to article 2389, comma 3, second paragraph of the Italian Civil

Code, and article 21 of the By-laws;

- drafts possible stock option plans and share-based benefit plans for Directors,

employees and associates, including Executive with strategic responsibilities, submits

them to the approval of the Shareholders’ Meeting pursuant to article 114-bis, TUF, and

oversees their implementation.

5

Compensation Committee

The Issuer’s Board of Directors, consistent with the provision of the Stock Exchange

Regulations and the Corporate Governance Code, established an internal Compensation

Committee comprised of non-executive Directors, the majority of whom are independent

Directors. The Compensation Committee is responsible for:

- submitting to the Board of Directors proposals, concerning the compensation of the

Chief Executive Officer and all other Directors who perform special tasks, and monitoring

the proper implementation of approved resolutions;

- submitting to the Board of Directors general recommendations concerning the

compensation of DiaSorin Group Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, taking into

account the information and indications provided by the Chief Executive Officer, and

assessing on a regular basis the criteria adopted to determine the compensation of the

abovementioned executives.

The Compensation Committee will also be expected to participate in managing any future

stock option plans that may be approved by the Issuer’s relevant corporate governance

bodies.

The Compensation Committee submits proposals to the Board of Directors as to the

remuneration of Executive Directors and of other Directors holding particular positions,

Executive with strategic responsibilities in addition to the setting of performance objectives

related to the possible variable component of remuneration, monitoring the application of

decisions adopted by the Board and verifying in particular the actual achievement of

performance objectives;

The Compensation Committee assesses periodically the adequacy, overall consistency and

application of the Compensation Policy for Executive Directors and other Directors holding

particular positions and Executives with strategic responsibilities.

The Compensation Committee elected on April 22, 2013 is comprised of the following

Directors: Giuseppe Alessandria (Independent Director) who serves as Chairman, Roberta

Somati (Independent Director) and Michele Denegri (non-executive Director).

Shareholders’ Meeting

With regard to remuneration, the Shareholders’ Meeting:

- determines the compensation of the members of the Board of Directors and the Board

of Statutory Auditors pursuant to article 2364, paragraph 1, n. 3, and where appropriate

of article 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, and of article 21 of the By-laws;

- votes to approve Section I of the Compensation Report drafted by the Board of

Directors.

Compensation of the members of governance bodies.

Pursuant to Article 16 of the Bylaws, Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for expenses

incurred in connection with their office. In addition, they are provided with an annual

compensation approved by the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting that elects them. The

Shareholders’ Meeting may set a total amount as compensation for all of the Directors,

except for those who have been delegated to perform operational functions, whose

6

compensation is determined by the Board of Directors with the input of the Board of

Statutory Auditor. Alternatively, the Shareholders’ Meeting may exercise its right to set a

total amount as compensation for all of the Directors, including those entrusted with special

tasks.

The fee awarded by the Shareholders’ Meeting to the Board of Directors for its term of office

as a cumulative amount is allocated by the Board of Directors, based on the input of the

relevant internal consultative bodies, taking into accounts the functions performed, the posts

held and they key roles played by the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, and covers only the

fixed compensation component for the different posts held during the term of office.

These amounts do not apply to any special tasks assigned pursuant to Article 2389, Section

2, of the Italian Civil Code.

The Deputy Chairman receives a specific compensation based on the position held. Please

note that no compensation is provided for members of the Board of Directors who already

receive compensation for their managerial employment relationship with the Issuer. The

compensation of Independent Directors is the same for all them. Independent Directors who

serve as Chairman of Nominating Committee, Control and Risks Committee and

Compensation Committee receive a further ad hoc compensation in addition to the Director

compensation.

There is no variable bonus system or stock option plan for Director. Moreover, when a

Director is also a Company executive, DiaSorin will pay no fee for serving on the Board of

Directors and such post will be granted and accepted without compensation.

Compensation of General Managers and other Executives with strategic responsibilities.

The compensation policy of the General Manager and Strategic Executives is aimed at

achieving an optimum convergence of the value received by Executives and the Market

value with the interests of the Company and its Shareholders. This policy is based on an in-

depth assessment performed by the Compensation Committee, based in part on

benchmarking analyses aimed at comparing the compensation awarded by publicly traded

companies with comparable capitalization. In 2014 the Company availed itself of the

consultancy services provided by independent expert of Hay Group S.r.l. who conducted a

benchmarking analysis on the remuneration of Strategic Executive.

The gross annual compensation includes a fixed portion, based on the post held, the level of

personal competencies and the assigned responsibilities, and an important variable portion

(Variable Incentive or Target Bonus) tied to operating performance, which is a key objective

in terms of the value creation task assigned to Strategic Executives.

The Target Bonus representing the variable portion of the annual compensation is paid in a

lump sum, usually in March, after the Board of Directors has approved the actual operating

results for the previous year, as certified and approved by the relevant corporate and auditing

functions.

Executives are also beneficiaries of the Company’s stock option plans, which are designed

to retain these Executives and reward them based on the increase in the Company’s value.

The details of these plans were disclosed in the Information Memoranda posted on the

Company website.

Exercise of options does not require the attainment of performance targets, therefore, no

procedure are envisaged for the review of the plans in relation to possible variations in the

basic target.

7

Benchmarking against the reference market for the compensation of the General

Manager and Director with Executive Duties.

In addition to the abovementioned principles of fairness and meritocracy, DiaSorin uses a

market compensation analysis, based on a job grading system with the aim of verifying the

standing of its General Manager and Strategic Executives vis-à-vis a panel of other

companies operating in the European market1.

Lastly, the Company provided the General Manager and the Senior Corporate Vice President

Commercial Operations with a stability commitment aimed at extending the protection

available to Executives under the National Collective Bargaining Agreement for Executives

in the event that, for reasons other than just cause, the employment relationship is terminated

due to serious fault by the Company or objective hardship caused by major organizational

changes, with or without change in the Company’s reference shareholder (see Section II of

this document).

Procedure to manage the variable portion of the annual compensation of the General

Manager and Strategic Executives

In 2014, the objective parameter used to determine the variable portion of the compensation

(Target Bonus) of the General Manager and the Senior Corporate Vice President

Commercial Operations, who serve also as Directors, was the EBIT amount in the budget

approved by the Board of Directors, whereas the variable portion of the compensation of

Strategic Executives was the EBIT amount with a weight ranging from between 25% and

100% recognized on the basis of the Actions. The amount of the variable bonus for achieving

100% of budgeted EBIT is equal to 50% of the fixed portion of the annual compensation of

the General Manager and an amount ranging between 35% and 50% of the fixed compensation

for the other Strategic Executives.

The variable bonus can vary based on how actual results diverge from the budget: up to a

maximum of 30% for actual results that are equal to or exceed the EBIT budget target by

30% or more (the percentage increase of the bonus is directly related to the improvement of

the actual result above the target parameter, up to a maximum of 30%).

If actual EBIT are lower than the budgeted target, the bonus is cut in half if actual EBIT are

equal to 95% of budgeted EBIT and is completely eliminated if the actual EBIT amount is

less than 95% of budgeted EBIT.

For actual amounts that fall between 95% and 100% of budgeted EBIT, the bonus is reduced

proportionately.

The variable bonus is paid to the General Manager and Strategic Executives in a lump sum,

based on the actual EBIT amount, as certified by the competent corporate and audit functions

and approved by the Board of Directors. The bonus paid to the Strategic Executives is based

on the evaluation of the General Manager and proportionally recognized on the basis of their

actions.

The variable bonus paid to the General Manager and Strategic Executives is submitted to the

Compensation Committee.

Revision of compensation of Directors who perform executive functions and Executives

with Strategic Responsibilities as of January 2015.

As of January 2015 the Issuer, following the input of the Compensation Committee, deemed

it appropriate to revise the compensation of General Manager consistent with benchmarking

data in the reference market.

In January 2015 the Issuer approved the adjustments to the following compensations:

Gross annual compensation: 700,000.00 Euros (+24.63% compared with the

previous year)

Target Bonus (Variable): 350,000.00 Euros (+25% compared with the previous year)

No adjustments to the gross annual compensation of the other Strategic Executives were

defined in 2015.

The General Manager adopted for the Strategic Executives who report to him directly a 2015

incentive plan that estimates a Group target (EBIT), with a variable weight ranging between

25% and 100% of the total Target Bonus. The structure of the incentive plan for the General

Manager is unchanged compared with previous years and is measured exclusively on Group

EBIT.

Fringe benefits

Pursuant to the policy adopted by the Issuer for fringe benefits 2, the award of such benefits

to Strategic Executives, including the two Executives who serve on the Board of Directors,

is consistent with the relevant Company procedure or the reference national collective

bargaining agreement. Specifically, regarding the company car, the policy currently in effect

at DiaSorin calls for the use of a company car of the “Direttori” class.

No insurance, retirement or pension benefits, other than those required pursuant to law,

collective and supplementary agreements, are provided to any Strategic Executive.

Severance indemnity

The Remuneration Policy makes provision that payments made on leaving office or

termination of the employment relationship are regulated under the existing contractual

relations with Executive Directors and Executives with strategic responsibilities.

directly or through companies controlled by the same, through trust companies or

other information acquired by the same components of the corporate boards, the General

Manager and executive with strategic responsibilities.

Regulations, DiaSorin (i) may supply in aggregate form information on compensation received by

executives with strategic responsibilities, other than the General Manager, and (ii) may provide

Severance indemnities

The Issuer executed agreements pursuant to Article 123-bis, Section 1, Letter i), of the

Uniform Financial Code with its General Manager, Carlo Rosa (who is a Company employee

and serves as its Chief Executive Officer), and with Chen M. Even, who serves as a Director

and qualifies as an Executive with Strategic Responsibilities pursuant to Annex 1 of the

Related Parties Regulations.

Specifically these agreements provide for the payment of a predetermined termination

benefit to the abovementioned executives.

The criteria for determining the benefit payable to Carlo Rosa, in his capacity as General

Manager, was defined by the Board of Directors, upon a recommendation by the

Compensation Committee, as an amount variable between wages for 24 months, in the event

of termination without cause by the Company of the employment contract executed in

accordance with the applicable national collective bargaining agreement, and wages for up

to 36 months, in the event of a split in the post of General Manager from Chief Executive

Officer, or a change in the Company’s share capital ownership (as per Article 93 of the

Uniform Financial Code), repeated violations of the employment contract by the Company

or a material change in the employee’s job description, absent the consent of both parties.

For Chen M. Even the benefit of wages for 24 months will be due mainly in the event of Mr

Even’s resignation or firing without cause, in the event of repeated violations of the

employment contract by the Company or a material change in the employee’s job

description, absent the consent of both parties, or if there is a change in the Company’s

reference shareholders, pursuant to Article 93 of the Uniform Financial Code.

The annual compensation of the abovementioned executives is listed in a separate section,

later in this Report and in the notes to the Company’s annual financial statements.

In the event of a termination of the employment relationship, any option grants awarded to

Messrs Rosa and Even pursuant to the Company’s incentive plans will continue to be

governed by the principles set forth in the 2010 Plan and 2014 Plan Regulations (as defined

below). Additional information is provided on the Company website www.diasorin.com in

the Section “Investors/Shareholders’ Information and Board of Directors” or in the

applicable section of this Report.

All of the items in this table refer to compensation provided by the company that prepares the financial statements.

* In addition to Mr Rosa and Mr Even, Strategic Executives include Mr Ronchi, Mr Colotta and Mr De Angelis (the compensation of these last three is shown as an aggregate amount under “Other Strategic Executives”). ** No profit sharing is provided, without prejudice to the right to receive dividends if a party is a shareholder or is otherwise entitled to receive dividends.

1 Fixed compensation for work performed as an employee, including social security contributions and taxes payable by employees, but excluding collective social security contributions payable by the Company and the

addition to the provision for severance benefits. The fixed compensation includes the gross annual compensation, without bonus, actually disbursed as of December 31, 2014 (therefore, if a Strategic Executive is hired

during the year, the amount actually disbursed is shown, i.e., the amount from that date of hire plus the one-month year-end bonus).

2 It is the value of the fringe benefits (consistent with a taxable amount approach). Consequently, fringe benefits refer to the Company car benefit.

3 It is an indemnity for termination of the employment relationship paid if certain conditions are met (Stability Agreement). The table above shows the gross amounts provided under the “stability agreement” executed

with Messrs Rosa and Even. These amounts should be viewed as hypothetical payments for 2014 reporting year and that would be due if the employment relationship with either Mr Rosa or Mr Even should be terminated

unilaterally by the Company or if either executive should resign. These amounts have been calculated on the basis of gross annual compensation used to compute the provisions for severance benefits (fixed compensation),

hypothesis of 2014 Bonus payment (Bonus and other incentives) and fringe benefits, as previously shown. Specifically, the indemnity hypotheses used were 36 months of the gross annual compensation used to compute

the provisions for severance benefits for Mr Rosa and 24 months of the gross annual compensation used to compute the provisions for severance benefits for Mr Even. These amounts could be subject to change, as they

refer to the risk of economic exposure in the reference year (here 2014).

4 Compensation amounts that vested, but were not disbursed, during the year for targets achieved during the year under monetary incentive plans. The amounts shown above refer to the hypothetical disbursement of

bonuses (gross amounts) in March 2015 for the 2014 reporting year, which is when the bonuses accrued. In 2014, if the cost is computed on a cash basis instead of an accrual basis, the following bonuses were paid for

targets achieved in 2013: C. Rosa: 193,800 euros; C. Even: 114,000 euros; Other executives: 241,140 euros (the Other Executive cluster includes: Mr Colotta, Mr De Angelis, Mr Ronchi).
